The Whole Thing Over
Faraquet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words for singing
To me something
Guess I like them
Just not singing
Still means something
To talk and talk at length
Guess my feeling
Full page
No alarm
Rough set
Once heard
Faraquet's song "The Whole Thing Over" may seem like a collection of random lyrics at first glance, but upon closer examination, the song captures the feeling of being unable to express oneself. The opening lines "This means nothing, words for singing, to me something" highlight the fact that words can have different meanings to different people. The singer of the song does not understand the significance of the lyrics but recognizes that they hold meaning for someone else. This ambiguity is continued in the next lines, "Guess I like them, just not singing, still means something." The lyrics might not make sense to the singer, but they still hold some emotional significance.
The song then turns to the difficulty of communication. "Get this moving, to talk and talk at length, guess my feeling." These lines convey the frustration of wanting to express oneself fully but struggling to find the right words. The following verse is even more cryptic: "Full page, no alarm, rough set, once heard." These disconnected phrases seem to imply a larger theme of being unable to convey meaning or understanding, despite one's best efforts. The song could be interpreted as a commentary on the limitations of language and the difficulty of truly connecting with others.
